This Chinese Elm tree, Ulmus parvifolia 'True Green', is an excellent choice for sun drenched Southwestern properties because it can bring a massive amount of shade to any landscape. Native to China, this large, semi-evergreen tree has been widely used in parks here in the Southwest thanks to its wide, natural umbrella-shaped, shade capabilities.

Moon Valley Nurseries carries the 'True Green' strain, which does not weep. The 'True Green' strain features small, deep green leaves and is prized for its upright, rounded growth habit favored by many homeowners.

Great for families, a mature Chinese Elm tree is good for climbing or attaching a tire swing.

"I liked to buy this nursery because of the nice plants they have"

"I had two of these in my front yard as a child and loved them. When we purchased our forever home, a big part of the reason I fell in love with it was the two mature Chinese Elms in the front entry. This beautiful feature was a tribute to my childhood home. Unfortunately, a rogue driver took out one of my mature Elms and the damage was irreversible. I wanted to replace the tree, but I knew it would most likely be impossible to match my other mature Elm for size and age. Well, Moon Valley Nurseries came through! We stopped by their Scottsdale location, and the guys there showed me not one, but several, mature Chinese Elm trees that would not only compliment my remaining tree, but actually looked better and fuller than my tree that had been at the house for what must've been 30 years. When Moon Valley Nurseries says they have a huge selection of specimen trees, they aren't joking! They also set me up with a fertilizing and care service for both trees to help bring my existing Elm up to par with the newly planted one! "

"Moon Valley planted our Chinese Elm seven years ago, in full sun, in our backyard that had no shade tree. At that time, the tree was about 9' tall. It is now incredibly tall and wide - I would estimate at least 18' tall. The exfoliating bark is beautiful. The tree is stunning. And best of all, we now have a substantial amount of shade during our brutal summers. I would highly recommend this."
